How to Make Garlic Butter Salmon on the Grill

Grilled salmon is so easy to make, which is just one of the reasons I love it so much! This Garlic Butter Salmon only needs a few minutes of prep, and then a few minutes on the grill. A healthy meal in less than 30 minutes! Serve it with grilled asparagus or your favorite side dish to finish it off.

How to Make Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon:

Preheat the grill and spray plenty of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Original Spray onto the grill pan.
Combine garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, salt and pepper. Crush the garlic and rosemary into the lemon juice to create a paste. I like using a mortar & pestle to do this, but you could also use a small bowl and a glass to crush the garlic.
Spread the garlic paste over the salmon filets, then let them sit in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
After that, spray each filet with the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray, then flip and spray the other side as you place them on the grill pan.
Grill salmon (covered) for 4-5 minutes.
Flip the filets, spray again, and grill another 6-8 minutes.
Remove salmon from the grill once fully cooked and flaky.

How long to grill salmon

Grilled Salmon Temperature

Grilled salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F before consuming. Use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature at the thickest part of the filet. Salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it.
